Wes McKinney commented on ARROW-6818:
-------------------------------------
I recently spent a lot of time on these documents. It's time for someone else
to take a turn.
> [Doc] Format docs confusing
> ---------------------------
>
> Key: ARROW-6818
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-6818
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation, Format
> Reporter: Antoine Pitrou
> Priority: Major
>
> I find there are several issues in the format docs.
> 1) there is a claimed distinction between "logical types" and "physical
> types", but the "physical types" actually lists logical types such as Map
> 2) the "logical types" document doesn't actually list logical types, it just
> sends to the flatbuffers file. One shouldn't have to read a flatbuffers file
> to understand the Arrow format.
> 3) some terminology seems unusual, such as "relative type"
> 4) why is there a link to the Apache Drill docs?
